He was martyred along with his son and several companions in 660 CE at the hands of the Umayyad ruler Muawiya ibn Abu Sufyan due to their firm loyalty to Imam Ali (PBUH).

The shrine of Hujr Ibn Adi Al-Kindi was reportedly ransacked and desecrated by members or associates of the Syria Free Army, which was formed in 2011.

They took out his dead body, he died some 1,400 years ago and buried it in an unmarked place, as they claim through some Facebook page of one of their groups names.

“The shrine of the great companion, Hujr Ibn Adi, is one of the most important shrines for all Muslims, and violating and digging his grave in this way reveals a terrorist and criminal mentality that does not respect neither Muslim nor Christian sanctities,” Hezbollah added.

In a statement, The European Council of Jamaats said that the destruction of the shrine was “not solely a matter of grave concern for the Shi’a [but] concerns Muslims worldwide.”
